Thanks for sharing guys!! What were your ECA and hobbies like? Any significant ahievements in those areas? I am asking because I find it weird that there are no HR questions and hobby questions. I have a feeling they go into Extra-currics and hobbies etc. only if you either have significant achievements in those areas or if you lead the interviewers to ECA and hobbies with your answers.

All the best to everyone!! May they ask everyone only the stuff that they know well ;)

Raze, I don't have many things in profile.. My hobbies just include painting and body building.. May be they both were oblivion to these two things.. Thats y they didn't ask much about them.. But you should prepare each and every aspect of ur profile... And about HR questions, As per my observations, theY have stopped asking those questions for which Coaching instititutes provide reay-made answers... ATB!

After 15 minutes of the completion of Essay, our PI started... I was the 4th one to enter...

There were three members in the board , 2 old professors (Op1, Op2) and a middle aged lady (who was just observant, I think). Moiself-- Bakra

Bakra- May I come in??

OP1- Yes please!!

OP2- Please be seated and hand me over your profile....

OP2- Hmmmm.. After a long time I'm interviewing a non-techi, kaushal (he pronounced my name wrong!!!)Bakra- yes sir, nowadays more techis are inclined towards a career in management, Sir my name is khushal (Khush + haal)!!!!

OP2- Oh, I'm sorry ... But Very unique name.. Usually North Indians don't have unique names... So you be happy everytime like your name? (with smiles)

Bakra - Yes sir, I always try to garner and spread happiness.. After all the ultimate motive of everyone is to be happy....

OP1- What re u currently doing??

Bakra- Blah Blah Blah,......

OP1- Alright, What's your responsibility there? and who will take up after you leave your family business?

OP2- When was Income tax act passed?

Bakra- ( was confused between 1956 and 1961) sir 1961... (it was right)

OP2- what are the deductions availed under section 80DD of IT act?

Bakra- (!@#$%) I couldn't recollect sir....

OP2- (grinning) -- Assume I sold my house worth 60 laks in 2007 and then after 2 years I bought another house woth 60 lakhs.. My last house was inherited property.. So how would you calculate the CAPITAL gain on inherited property? And tell me how would I be able to save the Tax??

BAkra-- ( took 3 minutes to think) Then Blah blah Blah.....

OP2 Is impressed-- Very good..

OP1- Whats Is E.P.S.?

OP1 -(interrupting) Why After?

Bakra- because Equity shareholders are entitled to dividend only after tax and interest and...

OP1 (again interrupting)- I know this but I'm asking "WHY THIS"?

Bakra- Because they are real owner of the company so, they will be entitled to the profits only after the other claims are met.. Thats why.. They are paid last...

OP1- What's Cost volume profit analysis??

Bakra-- (I studied this 5 years back :shock::shock:) I don't remember sir...

OP1- Suppose you want to open a public limited company.. What will be the procedure for that?

Bakra-- Told..

OP1- What's Doctrine of Ultra Vires??

Bakra-- ( I was taken aback!!!, I studied this in my 11 class) emm..err.. Sir, Ultra Vires means the works done by a company beyond the things written in Article of Association!!

OP1 - ( WTF! WTF!) Is this Article of Association or Memorandum of Association??

He looked at me with sarcasm for 10 seconds before asking the next question then asked- Did you take CAT before?

Bakra- yes sir, last year..

Op1 and op2 looked at each other.. and the told that it's done.. They offered me eclairs and asked to leave...

I paid salutations and left the room... :banghead:

Third, If your hair-fall is severe then you may Shave your Head(If u can).. Shaving will not stop ur hair-fall..Rather you will get 2-3 months' time to correct the problem... In those 2-3 months U should Put kilo-liters of Ayurvedic oil to ur head.. These oil re avilable at normal chemist shop...

Fourth one which is Most Important ..Try to think why depression causes Hairfall????Here is the answer... It makes our body stop producing Testosterone ( a hormone responsible for hair growth etc) ... Zinc is responsible for creation of this testosterone in our body... So eat those foods which are enriched with Zinc...

IF you're Non-veg then eat chicken and fish atleast twice a week...And If you're Veg.. then only nuts like almonds have good amount of Zinc...

P.S. there are some supplements of minerals available in market .. u can also go for that .. but consult a dermatologist before going for these supplements...
